Aurora Health Care notifying caregivers of breach

Wisconsin-based Aurora Health Care is notifying current and former caregivers after discovering malware on some of their workstations and servers, databreaches.net reports.

A forensics investigation revealed that the malware was designed to intercept active sessions and capture login information when certain web sites – mostly financial and some social media – were accessed.

As a result of the incident, Aurora Health has implemented additional safeguards that include upgraded audit and surveillance technologies to detect intrusions and advanced encryption to protect information assets. Additionally, they are reinforcing existing policies and processes and rolling out enhanced training and awareness programs for caregivers.
